One of the fastest growing games on Facebook is World at War. It is one of the top gainers this year with now over 1 million monthly active users! This is despite the fact that its developer, Treyarch, is quite unknown.
The game is patterned after Zynga’s Mafia Wars. The difference is that it involves modern militia instead of 1930s mobsters. In the game, a nuclear bomb explodes in New York City starts war. The player is a commanding officer in the armed forces of his or her chosen country. The player may choose to fight for the US (with a bonus on planes), the UK (with a bonus on ships), Germany (with a bonus on tanks), Russia (to increase loot rate), China (to create buildings faster), and Iran (to recover energy quicker). The goal of the game, of course, is to have the best army and emerge victorious.
To increase one’s level, honor, money, items, and units, the player can complete missions or fight other players. To do these successfully, he or she must use up energy as well as have alliance members (friends) and units (over land, sea, or air). His or her defense and attack points must also be high enough. Having a developed base allows the player to increase his or her defense and attack points plus gain more financial support.
Game enhancements (like indestructible units, cash, and energy refill) may be bought using Reward Points. In the beginning, each player has 10 of these. However, more may be bought by using PayPal, credit cards, Amazon Payments, and by completing surveys, installing games, etc. through Offerpal.
Though World at War’s game features may be a bit common for Facebook users, it still offers the excitement that can gain more users in the coming days. (Click HERE to play.)
